Wedding Customs (3/3) - American Culture & English Vocabulary

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hello Bimal! Thank you. :) I'm forever grateful for all the support you give.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hello. I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you. As I kept on talking, there were times I either grew tired or excited and forgot to keep the pace I originally set! I only realized later that I was getting quite fast in Part 3. I think my accent is fairly standard for American English. Since childhood, I've tried hard not to use the regional accent from my home state of Pennsylvania. I always admired the way news reporters talked on TV, and that likely influenced my speech. :) Regards!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Thank you for watching this last part. Kind regards!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

I think a lesson on adverbs would be helpful to many. Until I can do that, please feel welcome to post specific questions about adverbs on the community forum on my website. Regards!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Yes, yes. I should have mentioned that there are often wedding favors. That's what we call the little gift for each guest that serves as a memento. Favors can be small, like candies, as you described, or larger, like a wine glass. At one wedding, we all got practical gifts like shoe horns (to help slip on your shoes). Thanks for sharing!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Thank you for the kind support. Warm regards to you, your classmates, and your instructors. :)

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Yes, they are fun. I didn't mention the live accordion music, but my cousin always plays at family weddings. Add to that the fiddle and sometimes other instruments. There's great energy. :) Thanks for watching.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

For me, ЗАГС wasn't the real wedding. I feel I got married two days later at the church. ЗАГС reminded me of a wedding chapel in Las Vegas. It was quick and somewhat like an assembly line. I only put my gown on for the church ceremony. However, I can't complain about having two special days. After ЗАГС we had a big family dinner, much like a rehearsal dinner. The reception after church was much larger and more fun! :)

Thanks again, Jennifer! Your wedding gown and veil are so beautiful! And very traditional:) I like this. Best regards from Russia!

[@kyithalynn8060]

Dear Jennifer, I agree with L Paris. You are very kind and cheerful. The very first time I watched your video lesson "Learn English with Jennifer lesson 1 with Natasha ", I could not help myself subscribing your channel. You are the best ! All the best to you and your beloved family !

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Yes, of course. It's free and I welcome questions there. I respond as time allows. :) Regards!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Sure. I can recommend the 3-book series I co-authored. It's called Vocabulary Power. You'll find links on my website. You can also read through my Study Tips and get ideas for using free resources online. Please take a look at the two collections of vocabulary videos on my website as well: Everyday Vocabulary and Word of the Day. Regards!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

You're sweet, Dasha. Thank you. That was quite some time ago, but it's always good to remember one's wedding day. Kind wishes to you!

[@Glow_nathan]

Hello Jennifer I'm from Brazil and know your videos in my university. You're a perfect teacher. Actually i watch your videos every day, i love them.Congratulations.

[@goodrain6950]

These days, I am watching ur lessons. It helps me to understand about English conversation a lot. So I wanna say to thank you. Please make more good lessons.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Thank you. I think every bride feels beautiful on that day. :)

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hello and thank you for the sweet words. :) I don't can't speak many languages. English is my native language. I speak Russian all right, but I should practice more! In the past, I've studied other languages briefly, so although I can't speak them much at all, I have a basic understanding of how they work. (French, Japanese, Portuguese)

[@Shinyaquamarine]

In Italy, usually after the cutting of the cake, the bride and the groom give their wedding guests sugared almonds held in decorated little boxes.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Спасибо большое! I'm glad you liked the lesson. Всего доброго!

[@athulabar1]

Dear teacher Jennifer, Yes, I know well that you do your best all the time. I wish you ALL the BEST... Bimal

[@merewetherful]

This is my favourite video on your channel. I hope you can post more vocabulary videos such as this one. You don't have much vocabulary videos, which is a shame.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hi there. I wish I had more time to make more videos. I may make more for the Language Notes series later this year. For now, I've been focusing on teaching high frequency words through my readings in the Oral Reading Fluency playlist. You might also like these collections on my website: www.englishwithjennifer.com/everydayvocabulary.html www.englishwithjennifer.com/Word_of_the_day.html Regards!

[@burinlee09]

jennifer you're the kindest women i've known on the internet. Thank you for you aswsome lesson. Can i ask you one question? how many languages you can speak?

[@youssefym1440]

thank you very much Jennifer

[@Englishwithjennifer]

You're very welcome, Youssef.

[@naser9953]

thank you veryvery much I have a question : can you tell about some books for English vocabluray?

[@Msspmex2012]

Hi again! In Mex we dont have the rehearsal thing, people here just set a date and get married, they just do it, with no rehearsal. :) Also women here cannot change their last names when they get marry. Its not legaly possible. Men and women have two last names, our fathers and our mothers last names and when women get married it remains the same. I think thats a very good tradition for others to copy #womanpower 😎👰🏻💄💪🏼💅🏼💃🏻😜

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@circe2015]

hello Jennifer! What a beautiful bride you are! your devoted frank

[@Niemand_12345]

Hi Jennifer. Where is your accent from? Is it from a specific state of USA? You speak very clear and unhurriedly. I wish all my English teachers spoke like you do. I understand you perfectly without subtitles! Great video.

[@sgdfzhdd]

[@raed2178]

Wow! I can't believe they stole your shoe and then drank vodka out of it. By the way you were so beautiful in that wedding dress 😉

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Yes, that was a strange but memorable tradition! :) Thank you for the sweet compliment.

[@raed2178]

+JenniferESL It's not a compliment. It's the truth. You are beautiful 😉

[@jakefirstfirst4641]

hello teacher I can write and speak by writing but I have a problem that is my understanding with Listening, how can I perfect it? thanks

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hello Jake. Please visit my website and read through my Study Tips. I also have a list of recommended resources. You might like these sites: esl-lab.com elllo.org nrp.org (use the transcripts with the podcasts) Regular practice and exposure to different speakers will help. Don't just listen to a recording or film clip once. Multiple times are necessary. Good luck!

[@jakefirstfirst4641]

:) thanks :)
